1 (5 1/2 ounce) piece chorizo sausage, diced
1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
1 onion, finely sliced
2 celery ribs, finely sliced diagonally
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 red chili pepper, deseeded and finely chopped

8 ounces chopped tomatoes
3 cups chicken broth, hot

Steps:

  • Cook the chorizo in a wide, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
  • Add the peppers, onion, celery, garlic and chili to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, until softened slightly. Stir in the thyme and rice, cook for 1 minute, then add the tomatoes, broth and Tabasco and bring to the boil.
